The mid-May checklist for Richard Pitino and the UNM Lobo men’s basketball team for the 2022-23 season looks like this:
Recruiting: check (but anything can change over the summer)
Roster: check (see above)
Staff: check (one recent video coordinator change listed below)
Schedule: TBD (but close)
The Lobos plan to play a 31-game schedule this coming season with the customary 18-game, unbalanced Mountain West schedule (nine at home, nine on the road) and 13 nonconference games that appear to be pretty loaded with home games. That’s for a program, knock on wood, that hopes for its first non-COVID restricted season in the Pit since 2019-20.
